On August 4, 2009 "The Things We've Grown to Love" was released on Linc Star Records (Warner Brothers), and paved a small stepping stone for the band. With their first full length under their belt, Rolling Stone named them 1 of 6 bands to keep a close eye on. The album received a majority of good reviews, and pushed All the Day Holiday into the busy commotion of bands needed to see.
One week before Christmas 2009, All the Day Holiday released a cover of "Christmas Time is Here" which shown light on the growth the band has made since the release of their first full length record. With a step in the direction of soul, shoegaze, and rock and roll at the roots, this is a band worth a corner on your iPod.
All the Day Holiday is Daniel Simmons (guitar and vocals), Mark Ventura (drums and percussion), David Roller (bass and keys), and Nathan Frisch (guitar)

Real Time
All The Day Holiday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sleeping but my mind is dreaming still.
The things I see are something I can feel,
but when I wake it all is locked and sealed.
Real time or not, it's all we've got.
We're slipping away, but right there we lay.
I'm wired and locked inside,
yet I am tied
I know that this is something real.
I'm sleeping but my mind is dreaming still.
The things I see are something I can feel,
but when I wake it all is locked and sealed.
And what I'm told is less than gold.
I've been losing soul, true life deep within.
Without a plea, I'm making history.
I'm taking it back. Taking it back.
I know that this is something real.
I'm sleeping but my mind is dreaming still.
The things I see are something I can feel,
but when I wake it all is locked and sealed.
The lyrics of All The Day Holiday's "Real Time" describe a feeling of being trapped in one's own mind, where reality and dreams blend together. Even though the person is aware that they are sleeping, their mind is still active and visualizing things that feel real to them. They are able to sense and experience these things, but they are unable to hold onto them once they wake up, leaving them feeling disconnected from their own thoughts and emotions.
The song suggests that time is slipping away, and although we are physically present, we are not truly living in the present moment. The fear and anxiety within the person is preventing them from freely escaping their own thoughts and embracing the world around them. Despite feeling like they are tied down by their own mind, there is a sense of reclaiming their own life and choices, of taking back control.
Overall, "Real Time" is a reflection on the relationship between the mind and reality, and the struggle to come to terms with one's own thoughts and emotions. The lyrics invite listeners to consider the ways in which they might be limiting themselves, and to explore the possibility of breaking free from self-imposed restraints.

“The Christian religion is a parody on the worship of the sun, in which they put a man called Christ in the place of the sun, and pay him the adoration originally payed to the sun.”
- Thomas Paine (An Essay on the Origin of Free-Masonry (1803-1805); found after Paine's death - thought to have been for part III of The Age of Reason)
The Bible was finalized by the Council of Nicaea, the year 325 (AD).
This council VOTED on books, myths & rules that were to be included, or excluded, in the modern version of what we call the Bible.
The Council of Nicaea voted on many myths & stories, incorporating many belief systems, so this new religious text would appeal to as many cultures as possible.
The Easter holiday is, literally, pulled from Roman "pagan" mythology. The Council of Nicaea, literally, voted on the date this should be celebrated.
"All the brethren in the East... will henceforth observe the custom of the Romans ....from ancient times have kept Easter together with you."
-The Council of Nicaea
"Religion consists in a set of things which the average man thinks he believes, and wishes he was certain"
-Mark Twain
"The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter."
-Thomas Jefferson (Letter from Jefferson to John Adams, 11 April 1823)
“The study of theology, as it stands in Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authorities; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion....and as this is the case with Christian theology, it is therefore the study of nothing.”
*― Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason (1794)

The American Founding Fathers deemed ALL religions unfit for modern governance.
“The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or Mohammedan Nation.”
- John Adams (American statesman, attorney, diplomat, writer, Founding Father & 2nd president)
The 1st Amendment's Establishment Clause prohibits the government from making any law, “respecting an establishment of religion.”
This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion.
Constitution Article VI Supreme Law - Clause 3 Oaths of Office
"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."
This means nobody is ever required to swear on the Bible, or any other religious book for an oath of office. They may choose a religious book, but none is required.
“...the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion."
-Treaty of Tripoli - June 7, 1797. Signed by President John Adams & Ratified UNANIMOUSLY, by the Senate June 10, 1797
....only a few times in history the Senate unanimously agreed on anything.
A 2018 Supreme Court Ruling re-affirmed this statement, from The Treaty of Tripoli.
PETER CARL BORMUTH, Petitioner, V. COUNTY OF JACKSON, MICHIGAN Respondent
This Court also released an opinion on May 14, 2018 in Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Assn., 584 U. S. (2018), Justice Thomas in his concurring opinion wrote:
"The Treaty of Tripoli was passed by the Senate and signed into law by President John Adams. As such, it is a "legislated text" which must be read "textually". The lower courts in this case read a hypothetical legislative intention into the text by dismissing Article 11 as "a mere formality". The language itself makes a clear direct statement that our government is not based on the Christian religion and any attempt by a government official to represent our government as Christian contradicts the text and the historical understanding of our founders."
“This would be the best of all possible Worlds, if there were no Religion in it”
-John Adams )Letter from John Adams to Thomas Jefferson, 19 April 1817)

@edwardlulofs444
I know that there is tax evasion by some claiming to be religious organizations, but my opinion is that it would be much worse to tax religions. Maybe that would allow taxation of your religion or your lack of religion. Some countries impose extra taxes on those who are not members of the government approved religion. I don’t want that.
